Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

I quit working in the sex trade just before the new year.  Hacked my hair off in early February.  Landed a job at a restaurant halfway through February.  And now, this past week, I gave my notice to both my landlord and my roommate after the straw that broke the camel’s back in terms of living with my roomie, and I landed a new and very lucrative marketing/sales contract that I’ll be signing this week.

The situation with my roomie and best friend of 9 years has been developing over pretty much the entire time we’ve lived together – moving out will allow us to salvage our friendship, even if it’ll be tense for a while.

The marketing contract is thanks to an old contact from working in the sex trade – my web designer who I randomly landed on when he advertised building free websites for escorts (no strings attached, and he did a fucking awesome job).  I’m going to be promoting and selling his next product, which is a series of websites based on local business districts.

Things are happening for me – things are really and truly happening for me, and I feel incredible.  The situation with my roommate is tense and unfortunate, but I’m incredibly stoked about moving!  I’ve lived in that apartment since the weekend after I quit my job at the insurance company and went into stripping full-time.  This is a hugely symbolic move for me, especially when combined with both of my new sources of income (a total turnaround from fucking for money), and the new haircut and aesthetic I’m working on.

I also finished my 40 day marijuana detox a couple of weeks ago – after over 3 years of being a chronic pothead I quit for 40 days, just to both prove I could and to see how it would feel.  I’ll admit that I’m smoking weed again since the detox finished, but I’ve gained a new appreciation for being sober, and I’ve definitely cut back on my pot use.

Moving at the last minute in under 10 days and with no plan has resulted in a heavy reliance on my support network – and they’ve been absolutely amazing.

I feel so blessed.  I feel so incredibly blessed right now.  This is the best I’ve felt in months.
